0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>from how Stuff works dot com where smart happens. Hi

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Am Marshall Brain with today's question. What causes me to

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>gain two or three pounds during the day and then

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lose two or three pounds while I sleep at night.

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>The main thing that's changing overnight is the amount of

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>water in your system. It's amazing how much water ways.

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>A gallon of water weighs eight pounds, and a pint

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of water or half a leader weighs one pound. This

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>means that if you drink a half liter bottle of water,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you instantly gain one pound from the water. That's a

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>big weight change, and it can happen very quickly overnight.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>There are two processes that cause you to lose water gradually.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>The first is respiration. Each time you exhale, you lose

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of water. Exhale onto a cool piece

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>of glass and you can see this moisture. The second

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>is transpiration through the skin also known as sweating over

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the course of a night. Both of these processes eliminate

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit of water. Then there's the tradition of

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>using the restroom prior to the morning way in that

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>process can eliminate up to a pound of water. The

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>average person eliminates about one point two liters of water

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in urine each day, and also eliminates about one liter

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a day through respiration and transporation. That's almost five pounds

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of weight fluctuation happening throughout the day. You may have

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>heard that it's important to drink about eight glasses of

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>water every day. Respiration, transpiration, and urination are the reasons why.
